Making pantech truck conversions a thing.
I'm exploring options for a small (50 > 100ah'ish) likely DIY portable power station.
My main house batts are 2 x 200Ah 12V LiFePO4 batteries charged from 740w 24v (residential) panels via Renogy ROVER 60a MPPT. The idea is to add AH juice for the consistent loads day to day, while also getting a portable power unit that I can ideally carry, over wheel, with me to video shoots.
I understand this plan would be moot if A. I was working within consistent sunshine hours (I aint), or B. Don't need portable power (I do), given A+B this plan makes sense (till I'm directed elsewhere), and would hopefully add an effective ~100ah to my setup.
Looking for advice re: best practices for this.
The office gear I'll run as much as possible off 12V adapted devices (buck converters, boosters, and USB-C), yet for errant low-load items (ext monitor, digital devices, chargers that I can't adapt) I'll need 240V Australian outlets. It would be cool if I could either plug-in all these doodads to this station to get a full day out of it, sitting under desk, maybe.
My hope is that it'd be possible to use this station as an 'overflow' of my 400ah juice, and drain it first (then charge it when main batts are full, or when I might need to via a manual switch).
Yet I am a noob and defer to all yee wise and faithful.
